[homesteadprepper]

Great info, thanks for sharing.

[MrBigstef]

Never knew rocks were so useful, Interesting as always. p.s. when are you going to tell us how to make a fire last all night.

[donze52]

@MrBigstef

keep reminding me, I wrote it down, but my mind wonders

old age or part timers creeping in. I do have it on the to do list.

thought maybe closer to camping seasons when people are out

and wanting longer fire time. have a good day

[EntouchNetwork]

Great vid!

[donze52]

@EntouchNetwork

thanks for kind word

keep you and your full with home grown food, not counting home grown medicine

and then fun part of growing weapons

[REFIGUY69]

take that 1 step further: put the rocks in burlap or a pillow case- get a hammer or sledge and pulverize what you can. like you said find soft rocks. this way you have mineral dust to feed into the soil. great videos on no nonsense ways of living.

[donze52]

@REFIGUY69

got ear and back busted up way back, so pounding aint an option for me

but other sure can. anything but commercial,

hope your basement is full this coming fall with food.

[Nebulax123]

Great tip! I noticed you have no snow is that normal for this time of year or are you having a mild winter?

[donze52]

@Nebulax123

keep you and yours safe

[Uriel1816]

[donze52]

@Uriel1816

wisdom from those that learne the hard way, saves many years of mistakes.

keep you and your safe and healthy

[EntouchNetwork]

@donze52 the indians would take rocks they placed out in sun all day all long (or under a fire) and take them and put them under what they used for beds at nite...to keep themselves warm.....

[donze52]

@EntouchNetwork

could have been< I heard it different, they sun died them to get rid of any moisture

so the rocks didnt explode when they made fire pits, and rocks around them could with moisture. but I wasnt there. keep safe

[athatcher85]

This is why i love your videos, YOU ROCK MR. BILL!!!!

[donze52]

@athatcher85

thanks for kind words, hope you can help other as they

need your wisdom

[LEGOGUNMAKER1]

That would save money on victory gardens !

[donze52]

@LEGOGUNMAKER1

only victory garden is the one the folks spoke of in WW II

hope you garden and spread the word

that will kill the need for food stamps

[jaunius112]

Very true!

[donze52]

@jaunius112

thanks for imput, hope your garden fills your basement

[snappydog357]

Very interesting, I did not know that

[donze52]

@snappydog357

ya might add table salt also, salt has trace minerals.

keep safe by growing your own food.

[tesskansas]

@donze52 Tell me more about the salt. If I buy a bulk bucket of salt, which kind do you recommend. Kosher, mineral, iodized, French, etc.???

[gazaking765]

Explains why the areas with most trees in the world are also the rockiest..

[donze52]

@gazaking765

destroys the thought of needing to rotate crops also. tree stays there for 100 years

with little or no troubles. keep safe

[TexasStraightShooter]

I did a variation on that in my new garden last year.

I dug up the rocks (one third rocks, two thirds soil) sifted out the rocks, mixed compost into the soil. Then made rows of soil with rocks all around to feed the soil and keep the weeds down.

[donze52]

@TexasStraightShooter

you aint going hungry for sure, hope you spread the word

garden kill the need for food stamps, one of the things I preach on the streets.

thanks for imput.

[pup9et]

[donthebodyguard]

Mr.Bill, looks like you have a green thumb.I like growing hot peppers and tomatoes.You keep safe.Good video.

[donze52]

@donthebodyguard

glad you like to garden, throw some matches in the pepper hole first.

see if you like the results. keep safe out there.

[MRSketch09]

I watch another video on youtube, I believe it was a particular type of gardening a man came up with over in sweden.

Anyways, he didn't use the rocks for that purpose you mention, but he used small boulders as heat conductors. They kept the ground warmer, so the plants would grow better I believe. And he was able to grow pumpkins and other things out of season because of the way he had his system.

Man was a full time farmer. That was his thing. Not a jack of all trades like yourself.

[MRSketch09]

@MRSketch09 I found it. Just add this on in your address bar...after the youtube com

[donze52]

@MRSketch09

rock do warm up, but better I have found is clear jogs of water, on both sides of a plant when frost is possible, or push comes to shove just cover them with buckets.

thanks for imput, it is food for thought.

[theturdpit]

Interesting video Mr. Bill.

[donze52]

@theturdpit

thanks hope you garden some

keep safe

[Erik22552]

Another great one Mr.Bill! How right you are. I had a rock garden once but the only problem I had with it was that it was really really tough on my mower! Kept going through blades like crazey! Hahaha

[donze52]

@Erik22552

weed eater string is not as hard on rocks

keep safer

[responder44]

Plus vegetables from the garden taste better than the ones from the tin cans.

[donze52]

@responder44

AMEN

keep safe by eating out of your own garden

[darkwhitedirewolf]

My grandfather used to do the rock thing. Used to drive me crazy moving them. He had stuff planted everywhere. But grandmother's cooking was always worth it. As an adult I can see those who lived through the depression think differently than I do.

[donze52]

@darkwhitedirewolf

yep my parent lived through depression, had nothing

saved everything, worked sun up to sun down,

hard lives, they built this nation, now the G men hog up income and want more.

keep safe
